Title: Electrostatic spray nozzle system
Inventor: COOPER STEVEN C
IPC: B05B1/30
Filed: 2005-11-12
Abstract: An electrostatic spray nozzle assembly designed for optimum charge level over a wide range of liquid and air flow rates. The electrostatic spray nozzle assembly includes an adjustment mechanism operable to move a fluid tip assembly within a bore of a nozzle body so as to adjust a longitudinal distance between a liquid outlet of the fluid tip assembly and an outlet of a nozzle cap. The electrostatic spray nozzle assembly is mounted to a panel made of insulating material. The panel is adapted to accumulate an electrostatic charge having a same polarity as that of the coating composition dispensed during a spray operation. Further deposition of spray droplets onto the panel is prevented by electrostatic repulsion forces due to the accumulation of sufficient charge onto the surface of the panel from an initial deposit of a small volume of spray.

Abstract: A mold barrier eliminates the establishment and continued resurgence of microbial colonies on product dispenser components routinely exposed to fluids and food products. The mold barrier may be utilized in a product dispenser to prevent the establishment of mold colonies on the product dispenser. The mold barrier adheres to potentially exposed surfaces to create an impenetrable boundary layer, thereby preventing the errant product from permeating into porous materials not suitable for product contact. Upon contacting the mold barrier, the errant product moves downward. Residues left from the errant product may be removed when the product dispenser and mold barrier are sanitized during routine cleansing operations. Upon sanitization, the product dispenser may be restored to a sanitized condition.
